Twenty-six ycar- > ago .John W. Rus
sell \vas the son of the wealthiest farmer
in this neighborhood. He was. a bright
and promising young man. His father
soul him to Columbia college to educate
him for u lawyer. At the mime time
Helen Sherman , the daughter of
' Undo" Alon/.o Sherman , wns the ac
knowledged belle of the southern purl
of Ontario county. Her beauty , that of
the blonde type , was a common remark
and she had many admirers. For year.- .
Helen and .lohn had been friendr , and
the friends-hip ripened into love , and in
18(51 ( , when John wa at home on his
first vacation from college , they be
came engaged to be married.
Russell returned to his studies in
1801 , when the uar fever was at its
height , anil one evening at a war meet
ing ho unlisted in the army. Ho wrote
long li'ttor.s to his parents and his
fiancee and blurted for the front.In
December , ISIW , Unwell was captured
by the confederates and lodged in An-
deri-onville prison , where ho was con
fined for seven months , and upon being
released was attacked wil tiruin fever.
For eight months he was an inmate of a
union hospital at the south , and he
made n narrow escape from death.
While Russell was in prison his father
died , and his estate having been found
insolvent , his mother went to live with
her brother in Philadelphia. Russell
had not boon heard from in many
months , and ho was mourned for at his
home as dead. Helen's father was
killed in an explosion on his farm at
about the same time , and , with her
mother , she removed to YounghtownO. .
where the mother and daughter lived
alone on their very slender income.
When Russell was discharged from
the hospital in 1804 he had heard no
news from South Bloomftuld for a year
and a half. Ho wrote home from Balti
more , and , getting no reply , ho went
to New York , and , getting some money
from his old college friends , ho started
for Chicago , where ho obtained work as
a bookkeeper , and later \\ont into the
grain tiuhincss. A fortune of SKio.UOO
was made in a few years , and ho re
moved to Portland , Or. , to engage in
the lumber business , where ho amassed
a fortune of over $300,000 before ho was
thirty-eight years old.
During u visit to Chicago last Juno
Rus&ell happened to pick up in a hotel
ono day an old copy of an Ontario
county nowspopor. It contained a local
letter from his old home , South Bloom-
Hold. Ho came upon a short pro
fessional card announcing that Miss
Helen Sherman was a teacher of instrti-
mental music at South Bloomliold.
Itusooll started at once for his old home
and called upon Helen Sherman , who
was overcome with emotion when ho
made himself known.
Russell told of his love and in a few
days they wore again engaged.
MaiTiaKO of a Chinese Maiden.
Says a Seattle ( W. T. ) Correspondent !
Two square chests neatly covered with
bright new canvas which was fastened
at regular intervals with little brass ,
oblong buttons , were noticed a week
ago , one on the other , all stamped and
sealed ready for shipment to San Fran
cisco , in the olllco of the Northern Pa
cific express company away up hero in
Seattle , W. T.
"Those trunk's- belong to Gee Hco's
daughter , ' volunteered the obliging
agent , "nnd she is going down to San
Francisco to bo married. "
"Indeed ! And who and where is Gee
IleoV"
"O , ho is n wealthy merchant. You
can lind him over on Third street , in
Chinatown. "
After the lap. o of a few days , when
Cico Ileo had about time to hear of hit
daughter's safe arrival in San Fran
cisco , I called upon him and enjoyed a
very pleasant talk , which was ended
with the courtesy'that the Chinaman ,
especially the wealthy Chinaman , novel
forgets the presentation of a line cigar ,
This merchant from China has been in
Seattle for more than twenty years. Ik
talks very fair English and is a shrewd
linancier. He tallied without reserve
about his family relations , and nlwayt
answered questions about his daughtoi
with a happy and beaming face.
Little Fong Sen was born hero in
Seattle in 1871 , and when she was a little -
tlo over ono year of ago her parents
went back to China. The mother was
going to join wife "No. 1 , " because
when Gee Hoe returned ho brought
wife "No. 8" with him , and she still
presides ever his home in this city. The
other two wives still live in China , with
two or moro children each , all of whom
are being carefully provided for by the
husband and father , who tries to vigil
them at least once in every two years.
Baby Fong Seng did not go to Chinr
with her parents. She was taken asftu
as Victoria , British Columbiaand there
she was placed in the keeping of tru-sleil
friends , who continued to care for heifer
for ton years. Then the father , on re
turning fiom ono of his voyage to his
old homo , called for her und brought
her to his own home. Ho brought witl ;
her a little servant girl who was onlj
wo years oldor.and the two llttlo Chine
t iris became inseparable.
The daughter win now cloven yean
of ago , and hud como to that period it :
her lifo when , in the belief of her pco
plo. every virtuous girl must shut her-
elf uway from the guzo of all human
beings except , those of ( ho immedlato
'itnisehold. So for live years she did not
dive the few rooms oVer the merchant's
tore which constituted her father's
lomc. Pale and delicate Fong Sen
grow , and was contented with her life.
she knew no other. But one morning
here eame u sudden change. Her little
icrvanl-compunlon announced that site
s going to be married to the mer
chant's trusted agent , but she would not
eave Fong Sen ; she would slay right
: i'ong as though nothing had happened ,
mly she was to bo married. Fong Sen
ivent to her father and told him she
ivantud to be married too. Her father ,
lothing loth , consented , and inimc-
ilintely began seekingH husband for her.
Ho noon found one who met his ap
proval , and the daughter was informed
that the husband was found , and propa
gations for the great occasion began
iv'ithout delay. Costly garments , made
of the .best of silk , were carefully and
richly embroidered , valuable presents
of gold and precious stones were be-
"ectedand H seemed that the ideaof ex-
wnsc did not enter the father's mind.
The only white pernons allowed into
the presence of l-ong Sen during the
live years of her maidenhood were two
Sunday school missionery ladies. These
ladies had spent much time and patience
in teaching Ghee Hee and other China
men the mysteries of the Kngllsh nouns
iind adjectives , and he did not forgot.
When all was arranged for his daugh
ter's departure he procured a closed
carriage and drove with his daughters
out to the homos of these ladies that
she might pay them the courtesy of a
farewell visit. The father then man
aged in pome way to smuggle his daugh
ter into her stateroom on the steamer.
No one is known to have caught a
lnipiu of her.
Fong Sen's husband is .Tee Chong
Tun. lie is wealthy , and talks and
writes \ery good Kuglish. Ho is an
agent of the Ding Yung company , one
of those iutlucntial , famous and ex
tremely wealthy concerns grouped un
der the name of "The Six Companies. ' '
Fong Sen , while she was reared in
about the same way that all good and
virtuous Chinc u girls nro reared' , was
fortunate iu two things. She was not
born in China and she had an elder
sistor. These prevented her from being
maimed by having her feet wrapped
tightly in fine cloth while in infancy ,
and kept so confined in order that she
might 1)0 the fashionable daughter of
rich parents , and all the world would
know it by her small feet.
( lee I lee's eldest daughter is in China
with one of his wives. She is eighteen
year * of age. and has waited two years
for her father to come homo to her so
that she could bo married. Next spring ,
if his business cares will not allow him
to go back to China on a visit , he will
write his daughter a letter and she will
be married , because when a Chinese
maiden has passed the ago of eighteen
she is not wanted as a bride , or , in the
language of Gee Hco himself. "Girl no
mnllied eighteen , she no good. " This
eldest daughter is a typical Chinese
belle. She has very small and almost
useless feet and a very wealthy father.
Married a nil lcmrtctl in Haste.
Some time ago Miss Annie Craft ,
aged nineteen , came to Kansas City on
si visit to her aunt. About a week later ,
for some reason unexplained , she in
serted ti personal in the Star askingjor
the acquaintance of some young gentle
men. Charles A. Brown , a clerk hero ,
son of a wealthy lady of Columbus , O. ,
answered the' personal and mot the
young lady by appointment. Love at
first sight seems to have been the sequel ,
for , a week later , the young man pro
cured a marriage license for himself
and Miss Craft , and on December U7 the
two were quietly married at a Methodist
pnrsomigo. The girl went back to her
hunt and remained there until last Mon
day , when she left , and going to Brown's
boarding house , surprised everyone by
declaring that she was married and pro
posed to live with her husband.
On Friday night a brother of the
young lady , living at Denver , came
here and was horriiied to learn that she
had married on such short acquaint
ance. Ho went at once to Brown's
rooms , and a stormy scene followed , in
which he threatened all manner of
vengea.nco , but left without doing any
thing. Yesterday , however , Craft wont
to the house while Brown was svway at
his work , and by dint of mingled
threats and persuasion , ' induced the
bride to leave her husband. The girl is
an orphan and of ago , and Brown
swears he will have his wife.
A Postage Stomp Romance.
Minneapolis Tribune : Charlie Holt ,
conductor on the motor line , has been
having a little trouble lately in refer
ence to the girl he left behind him.
Charlie is engaged and lias been for
some time to a very estimable young
lady living at Calais , Me. , named Hattie -
tie Saundurs. Arrangements wore made
for the young lady to come to Minneaj-
olis as soon as Charlie's prospects were
a littler brighter anj ( they would bo
married. Things wore running along
very smoothly until dually all letters
from Charlie ti betrothed ceased , and ho
thought she had forgotten him. Never
theless ho faithfully kept on writing ,
but strangely enough the letters uovci
reached their destination. Saturday
Postmaster Aukeny received a letter ol
inquiry from the postmaster at Calais ,
which was referred to in Sunday' *
paper , asking the whereabouts ol
Charlie Holt , saying that Hattie
Saunders had finally come to the
conclusion that ho had deserted her ,
as bho had not received any letters -
tors , but had written a great main- her
self. They both were. Charlie was in
despair and Huttie was in despair , each
believing the other false. The youn
lady's father made inquiries from end ,
as did Charlies relatives from here.
Postmaster Ankony was positive no let
ters had arrived here , because if tho\
had thov would have been delivered
and besides no one here had an object
in interrupting the letters. Charlie
sent a toloifrnm to his betrothed , however -
over , and that straightened out and ex
plained everything. The trouble al !
originated ut the other end , at Cahiid
where the mischief-making culprits
were. It seems that some ono base
villians , whoever they wore whooithoi
loved the fair Huttio or perhaps wore ii
love with Charlie himself , had been se
curing and reading the letters of both
parties , thereby endeavoring to break
oil the match and further their own
ends. But now everything bus been
hnppHy sot aright , ami the young ladj
will soon come out and two will be mar
ried , demonstrating that all's well that
ends well. "

Ohitho (111. ( ) Special : News came to

tolling of her hiding place , and ho
wrote to her renewing undying devo
tion , but she never got the letters until
her lover came hero lust week and took
thorn to her in person to the number of
two.dozen. She was staying with hot

tote containing the information that
she would i bo at a certain church on

meet him there nnd bo married. This
was enough for the lover , who hired MI
team at 4 oVloek and set off with the
[ H-obato jndpa to meet his ulllanced.
They got tb the church at 0 o'clock. The
young lady , who had been occupied in

it was then dark , and the intention was
Lo drive down the road a short distance ,
liuve the knot tied , and the young I tidy
then to return as though nothing unus
ual had occurred , but they hud gone
only n short distance when the horses

C. K. Iknhai.i lit llarir' Mit jalni ) .
Who Is that man who sits and bites
His pen with aspect solemn I
He Is the funny man who writes
The weekly coinlo column.
By day he scarce can keep awake ;
At night he cannot rest ,
Ills meals ho hardly dares take
He jests , he can't digest.
Ills hair , though not with years , is white ,
His check Is wan and pale ,
And all with seeking day and night
For Jokes that are not stale.
His jokes are few ; the choicest ono
Is when by luck a word
Suggests to him u novel-pun
Bis readers haven't heard.
And when n Yankee Joke he sees
In some old book well , then
Perhaps hu gains a moment's case
And makes it do again.
The thought that chiefly makes him sigh
Is that a time must come
When jokes extinct like mammoths Ho
And jokers must bo dumb.
When every quip to death Isdono
And every crank is told ;
When men have printed every pun
And every joke is old.
When naught in heaven or earth or sea
Has not been turned to chalT ,
And not a single oddity
Is loft to make us laugh.
Convinced That Leap Year is a Fraud.

wail on his bosom , kisses him passion
ately and rushes out into dark , dark

'Twas a gentleman's game.
And mo and the major
Sat into the sumo
Just to pass away time ,
For wo eared not a dhno
For the wager.
There was one at the board
Amazingly silly ;
But he seemed to bo stored
With plenty of stuff
For a good game o' bluff ,
Did this gillie.
He was one o1 that kind
That told by his action
The state of his mind.
So wo knowed by his look
Every hand that ho took
To a fraction.
When it come to his play
And wo both had appraised him ,
He reckoned he'd stay ,
But wo knowed ho was cooked
By the way that ho looked ,
So we raised him.
Waal , ho tilted UB back ,
And mo an' the major .
Sent in a whola stuck
Just to IOSKII the young fool
That it wasn't a good lulo
For to wager.
Then ho reached for the i > ot
As ho looked in our faces ,
And said "Tell yo what. ,
You want to look grurt
AVhen you'ro going to bluff
With four aees. "
